Well, My barn isn't one of those big old beautiful barns, sorry to say. It started out as a 3 sided shed for a pet goat and pony. Then when we needed more room we built a 36 X 34 pole building. Wood exterior matches the house with 6 12x12 stalls and a 10ft wide concrete center isle way. A great spot to put the horses in cross ties and groom them, no standing in mud trying to clean hoofs. I had horses/ponies for 18 years then when the twins went to college and my allergies got really bad we started to find homes for the horses. It was a big lifestyle change. I do miss having them but it did open up new possibilities for me. One of which was more travel which resulted in my becoming a SCUBA diver. Ric has completely taken over the barn now. I'll have go take a picture, I think it has been cropped out of most of my yard pics as things pile up down there which doesn't make the most attractive pics. There should be some old ones of the horses with the barn in the background, they would have to be scanned in.
Talking about wood piles. I received an E-mail with these beautiful interesting pictures. One of the pictures is a stacked wood pile, really a piece of art. There is the stump of the tree with an axe in it. Then laying on it's side looking like it was just felled is a tree. The tree is really a stacked wood pile some of the wood is stacked longways to look like the trunk and branches of tree. Other pieces are stacked sideways to look like the leaves.
Here we go this side view from the house. This area between the house and barn is a fenced dog yard so there isn't much of interest planted here.
